Scott Mitchell says
"In a nutshell, ASP.NET MVC allows developers much finer control over the markup rendered by their web pages, a greater and clearer separation of concerns, better testability, and cleaner, more SEO-friendly URLs."
and in his first mention of jQuery
" jQuery can certainly be used in an ASP.NET application, although integrating client-side script into a Web Forms application can sometimes be a bit trying. JavaScript development fits more naturally with ASP.NET MVC applications; in fact, the ASP.NET MVC framework includes the jQuery libraries. "
